What it is

Dried acerola extract is made from the acerola cherry, a tropical fruit native to South America. The fruit is dried and then processed to create a concentrated extract, often used for its high vitamin C content.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use dried acerola extract primarily as a natural source of vitamin C, acting as a nutrient supplement. It is also sometimes used for its tart flavor and antioxidant properties. It can be found in beverages, dietary supplements, and confectionery like chewing gum and mints.

Health notes

It is a rich source of vitamin C, an essential nutrient important for immune function and skin health. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated vitamin C and established acceptable intake levels. At typical dietary levels, it is not associated with adverse effects.
